In aroud the irish amatuers they always say that the uk teach a more pro style from the off especially english maybe thats something to do with having only 1 world champion (frankie gavin who is half irish ha)

RUSSIAN CRUSHIN - my fellow member of TSZYU CREW - Ukraine has dominated!

Ukraine and Cuba are officially the amateur BEASTS!

Well - Russia and Kazahkstan I suppose!

Four Kazakh fighters made the semi's, second most after Ukraine and 2 of theirs reach the Finals.

Lol yea I know I've been following it

It's amazing that there are 5 different Ukrainian finalist of 10 weight divisions

When 5 made the semi's i was like..


when all five won their semi's



followed by



I expect Shelestyuk to get dominated by Sapiyev. Berynchyk, Lomachenko, Khytrov are all about 50/50. Usyk i would favor slightly but since he's fighting the home fighter Mamedov from Azerbaijan i'm worried he might get completely ***ed over. They had that scandel right before the tournement and if they have any strings to pull a gold medal fight would be the time.

19 of the 40 Medals being awarded are going to fighters from former Soviet Republics.

All 5 Ukrainian fighters have very pro styles and they've obviously been successful..... Berynchyk at 64 fought English Stalker and put a absolute beating on him in one of the semi finals today. Kavaliauskas knocked out Welsh Evans at WW
